Hi, I am from Washington DC and Rep Chaffetz by chairmanship of the Government Operations Committee has the power to get Congress to overturn laws passed by our City Council, chief among them, to prevent us from spending our own tax money as we chose. While this is indeed Congress's Constitutional prerogative, I wonder how many of his constituents realize that he spends part of his time interfering in our business, just because he can. If he were indeed, "doing his job" he would be investigating questionable goings on in the Administration and leave Washington DC to govern itself.
I'd be grateful if his constituents would go to bat for us. Let him know that we deserve self government just as much as any other city or town in America.
